Projects

We had been planning on putting gardens in our back yard for quite a while now. And as of yesterday May 20, 2017, the seeds are planted! But there was a lot of work that had to be done first, considering the areas used to be grass covering up some red clay. First step was to outline the area of grass to be terra formed. So naturally I had to move Spike’s (my robotic lawn mower) base, and his border wire.

Well I’ve been experimenting a little bit with amazon prime pantry. Bottom line, some things are a pretty good deal. But I also experimented a bit with what I bought too. I doubled my recipe soo… 1 cup Coconut flour. Gluten free! Gluten is a wheat protein, and I don’t really care about gluten free. But I like coconuts, and trying new things. 1⁄3 cup Coconut sugar. It seems to taste a lot like “normal” sugar.

Well tomorrow I should be going to home depot. I need to pick up a few things for various projects. I nee: PVC pipes and connectors for my solar panel fram electrical junction box that can be nailed to studs, for an outlet or light switch bag of soil I got measurements for my solar panels, I just need to get the materials now. I won’t go into detail here, since I did just a few blogs ago.

I have been tossing around the idea of trying to paint my programs. I figured it would help me visualize what I’m working on better. And just might gain some artistic talent while I am at it. But mostly like Bob Ross says “every day is a good day when you paint.” It took me a while to take the leap. I decided I was spending far too much time worrying about how it will look or what to paint.

A while ago I tore up all the grass along the backside of the house, to make garden space. I also leveled out the dirt a lot. But I was missing a piece on the other side of the steps. This time around I basically cut strips of sodd out of the grass. I moved them out of the way as gently as possible. I want to keep as much of the top soil as possible.

So I’ve been stalled on my solar tracking plans for a while now, and its time to get the engine going again. The main thing that stands in my way is building a frame. I have been trying to get other people to help me with this, but so far nobody has been able to give me the help I need. I am not incredibly adept at physical fabrication. Like welding, cutting, glueing, measuring and etc.

Our storage room doesn’t have a light. And that is annoying. So I plan to install one. I got some parts already but I messed up a little on the order. What I need in total: Light Fixture < got it Romex House Wire < got it Light Switch Power Box to mount light switch < got the wrong kind. extra for Raspberry PI projects: A relay < have some, but none that are like proper.

There are many different ways an artist can create a dragon. But what do all dragons have in common? From the snake like dragons of the East, or the more dinosaur like version of the west? They are the ultimate predator. And it is to be feared, but it can be overcome. And if you defeat that dragon, you will certainly find a worthy prize of some sort. Dragons do exist, in everyone’s lives.

Well, I don’t think my houses gutters have been cleaned in years. And I have yet to be here an entire year. So I figured it was about time to clear them out. With clear gutters much less water will just spill over the sides. There was a large canal water had cut into the ground right next to my house. I have just filled it up, and I don’t want that to continue.

Continue work on the back garden. a. resting my hand, so not today. b. Continue cutting grass strips c. Try to fill that big divot and maybe expand spikes territory over it. Taxes a. I figured it out! I will start on that momentarily. Attic fan thermostat. a. Want to record, I need: I. camera and gopro, batteries charged, sd cards empty, new go pro straps II. Lighting, extension cord Probably just that same reading lamp as always.
